Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyOct 20193/5 starsA Winter's Daydream is the kind of indie visual novel that deserves support. It tells a good, interesting, and original story, with presentation that is inoffensive on every level, and some truly pleasant moments throughout. It's not a visual novel I'll ever replay, but I did enjoy every second I had with it.

CompletexboxDan BoiseOct 201950/100While I’m generally a fan of visual novels, A Winter’s Daydream comes up a bit short. While I do enjoy unique story telling such as this and the genre as a whole seeing as it’s perfect for a relaxing gaming session, the lack of voice overs and replay value makes this hard to justify. The story is fun, unique and touching, but once you’ve experienced it, there’s no incentives to replay it. Die-hard fans of the genre will undoubtedly want to experience A Winter’s Daydream, however there’s better visual novels out there for first timers.

AbsoluteXboxBrian GeorgeOct 20191.8/5A Winter’s Daydream will set you back about a fiver to buy, which to be honest is still a little steep for the lack of interaction you get, so may only be worthwhile if you fancy the easy game completion.
